212. Learn the principal parts of possum\, _I am able_, _I can_, and its inflection in the indicative and infinitive. (Cf.  Sec. 495.)

    a. Possum\, _I can_, is a compound of potis\, able, and sum\,
    _I am_.

213. The Infinitive with Subject Accusative.  The infinitive (cf.  Sec. 173) is a verbal noun.  Used as a noun, it has the constructions of a noun.  As a verb it can govern a case and be modified by an adverb.  The uses of the infinitive are much the same in Latin as in English.

1.  In English certain verbs of wishing, commanding, forbidding, and the like are used with an object clause consisting of a substantive in the objective case and an infinitive, as, he commanded the men to flee.  Such object clauses are called infinitive clauses, and the substantive is said to be the subject of the infinitive.

Similarly in Latin, some verbs of wishing, commanding, forbidding, and the like are used with an object clause consisting of an infinitive with a subject in the accusative case, as, Is viros fugere iussit\, _he commanded the men to flee_.

_214._ RULE.  Subject of the Infinitive. _The subject of the infinitive is in the accusative._
